The English hating British want to field a football team carrying the UK/GB banner in the 2012 Olympics here in London. Sounds fine, but they know full well that the only nation stupid enough and likely to agree to this is the English nation. Even before serious discussions of the implications have taken place, we have David Beckham, overwhelmed by a ride on a London bus in China, claiming he wants to coach the GB team, and we hear talk of an offer being made to the Scottish manager of Manchester United.
When the British want to start interfering into the last bastion of our English identity (sport) we must have our wits about us.
Lest we forget
The Campaign for an English Parliament (CEP) is fighting for the political and constitutional identity of England and the English nation, and it has only been a short while, 2003/2005, that we fought for the recognition of an England team in the “Tour of Britain Cycle Race” For those who have forgotten or are not familiar with the episode I will explain. A team England was denied entry into this race unless it accepted the GB identity although the rules had been bent to allow separate teams from Scotland, Wales, and Ireland entrance. Not only did England have to register under the GB name but the competitors were not allowed to put down their English identity on the team sheet. It should also be noted for those unfamiliar with the British Isles that Scotland was not, and never has been a part of Britain, which itself has not existed since Roman times, and only then included the countries of England and Wales, so Scotland should not have taken preference over our country England that was. Scotland is a part of Greater Britain and put the Great into the Great Britain identity when it joined the union in 1707 and it would have been fitting if it had been made to enter as the team GBR. Another reason for including an England team should have been because of the funding, provided again as always by the English tax payer. Further contempt for the English nation was shown when a Scottish minister, seeing the economic benefits of the race had it re-routed the next year to include a part of Scotland.
England had a very strong case for its identity to be recognised, but unfortunately the tour was then altered in such a way that all the home nations were denied entrance.
In 2008 however, G. Brown's Britishness call has been rewarded with a single GB entry, but again the English team members are not allowed to register an English Identity on the team sheet. If you plan to watch any of this race wave the English Cross of St. George and show your disgust.
ENGLAND MUST NOT BE FOOLED INTO TAKING ON THE GB IDENTITY ALONE AGAIN

TaxPayers' Alliance Bulletin - 8th August 2008
Structure of Government 3:The case for abolishing the Regional Development Agencies
The latest paper in the Structure of Government series, published today, demonstrates conclusively that the Regional Development Agencies have contributed nothing to the economic development of England's regions, despite costing taxpayers billions. Using detailed and comprehensive analysis of regional economic development over the last fifteen years, the report shows that in almost every measure their allotted regions performed better in the seven years before the Agencies were established than in the years since they were set up. The £15.3 billion spent on RDAs since 1999 has been wasted, and the report shows that their budget of £2.19 billion a year could be much better spent providing a 4 pence cut in the small business rate of Corporation Tax, which would offer a genuine economic shot in the arm to the regional economies. As well as a damning indictment of a failed regional policy, the report exposes the lack of accountability and transparency that riddle a government structure that is both impossibly complex and overly reliant on unaccountable quangos.You can read the full report here.
We're pleased to report that the case to abolish the RDAs has had exceptionally good coverage in the media and a great response from taxpayers across the country. Here is the media run-down:
BBC Radio 4: Today Programme: The TPA's Mark Wallace debated RDAs with the Chief Executive of the North West Development Agency (Click to listen - scroll forward to 53 minutes)Financial Times: £15bn spent on regions 'has been thrown away' Daily Mail: £15bn gravy train Daily Telegraph: Regional agencies labelled a £15bn failure Daily Express: £15bn "wasted" on Labour's quangos BBC News Online: Agencies branded 'waste of money' Telegraph.co.uk: Matthew Elliott: Regional Development Agencies should be abolished
Politics.co.uk: Govt shedding £15 billion on regional development agencies Teletext: Agencies 'a waste of money' Newcastle Journal: Scrap agency call Huddersfield Examiner: '£15bn wasted' LaunchLab.co.uk: Scrap RDAs and slash small business tax, ministers urged Lancashire Evening Post: Call to scrap £482m quango Management Today: RDAs: a waste of £15bn? Lancashire Telegraph: Lancashire regeneration agency boss hits back at 'failed quango' claim
Birmingham Post: Billions were squandered on Regional Development Birmingham Post: Plans to boost power of RDAs no cause for joy
Western Morning News: What a waste of our money! Evening Gazette: Agencies ‘a waste’ Express & Star: £15bn ‘waste’ claim as agencies blasted Southern Daily Echo: SEEDA branded a waste of money Public Servant: Report calls RDAs a 'resounding failure' Brighton Argus: Taxpayers’ group claims Seeda is huge waste of money Manchester Evening News: Taxpayers' watchdog slams £15bn 'waste' Liverpool Daily Post: We've helped NW economy to thrive - Broomhead hits back at NWDA critics Local Government Chronicle: RDAs: '£15bn thrown away' 24dash.com: Regional Development Agencies 'a waste of taxpayers' money' Property Week News: Call to scrap RDAs Northern Echo: Agencies are under fire for ‘wasting taxpayers’ money’ Essex Echo: Regeneration agency costs £600 per home
TPA spokesmen have also appeared on BBC Breakfast News and numerous local radio stations today, and the large number of new supporters who have joined up shows that the report has landed a heavy blow on these wasteful bodies and highlighted the woeful disorganisation of British Government.
You can help to get the RDAs abolished
To keep the pressure up on the RDAs it would be great if you could write to your local paper on the issue to follow up the initial media splash.
There is a lot of information in the report itself, along with various examples of waste and a full RDA rich list for you to draw on for facts. Here are a few key points you might want to highlight:
RDAs have failed to improve performance in new jobs, employment rates or attracting new businesses
Outside of London and the South East, growth was faster before RDAs were established
RDAs have cost each household £600 since their formation and the evidence shows we aren't getting value for money
Scrapping RDAs could cut small business corporation tax by 4%, which would be a far better motor for growth and job creation

THE BBC IS NOW THE LEADING PLAYER IN BRITISH RACISM
The BBC's bias against England exposed by its own coverage of the Olympics
In its CEEFAX August 19th bulletin the BBC described Chris Hoy the triple gold medalist as 'the Scot'. On one occasion as 'the flying Scotsman’. However, it described Victoria Pendleton the triumphant women's sprint cyclist Olympic champion from Bedfordshire and Christine Ohuruogo the 400 metre gold medalist from London as 'Britons', not once as English. In the first week of the Games both BBC reporters and BBC CEEFAX described Nicole Cook who took the first gold medal for the British team as Welsh, even as 'the Welsh Princess' but Rebecca Adlington who achieved two gold medals in swimming only as 'British', never English.' 'What we are witnessing, and consistently witnessing is BBC bias against England and the English people. The BBC will do all it can not to bring attention to the national identity of English people. The BBC is acting very politically. Its refusal to have a BBC England and substituting nine regional broadcasting units for England is political. It regards acknowledgement of England's distinct identity as a threat to the existence of the United Kingdom. It is not a threat. And the BBC has no right within its charter to act in such a pronounced political manner. The BBC has organised itself as a broadcaster into 'nations and regions'. The 'nations' are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the distinct national identity of which it recognises and promotes. It refuses to recognise England as a nation. It treats England as nine regions. It will not recognise our distinct English identity. All this is political.' 'The BBC should not discriminate against England. It should not act politically. It should report impartially and fairly. If in reporting on TeamGB it makes mention of the specific national identity of Welsh and Scottish athletes, it should make mention likewise of the English identity of English athletes.'
